*I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*3.5 out of 5 starsI liked this volume a lot better than the first volume, it seemed to have a plot (the nerve) and some forward momentum. I’m still not in love w/ the art it just seems very generic and everyones faces looks very similar so it’s hard to tell who is who. If you liked the first volume well you’ll probably love this.
i liked it way more than the first book. still have the 3rd book out from the library so i guess ill find out how that one will go
Imagine a world where humanity is on the ropes. All of the creatures we always imagined existed have crawled out of their holes and now want control of the world. Enter Vampires, Ogres, Centaurs, Changelings and many others we thought were myth or legend. Welcome to Hinterkind.
After reading volume one, I was unsure about whether to continue this series. After volume two, I'm a little more convinced as the deceptively simple conflicts revealed in the first volume take some interesting turns. The Sidhe plotline is the most interesting to me in this volume, so I'll keep going with the series.
Good volume.
Two things, Vampires are great at black ops and don't trust your kids. In this installment, we see the Vampires coming to America to establish a strong hold and the Sidhe being done in by the avarice of the Prince and Princess.We have Prosper continuing her search for grandfather and making unlikely allies in a quest for survival. We see unlikely groups coming together in preparation for the upcoming conflicts; this book will really get you anxious for the next volume.I really cannot wait to see...
This second volume of the Vertigo series finally made me realise what this series is trying to be - Supernatural Game of Thrones. The politics and plot twists come thick and fast, and there's a hell of a lot of characters involved now, with camps meeting and breaking apart multiple times in just 6 issues. Some threads are a lot more interesting than others, like the Sidhe Court (which is great) and Prosper's grandad (which is not so great) which is why this only gets 3 stars instead of 4. Oh, th...
Not as good as the first book. There are a lot of characters to follow now and the story switches perspective frequently. I found it to be a bit disjointed making it hard to follow. I just couldn't get into any of the characters. That said the story did progress and I got pretty wrapped up in the Sidhe plot of the royal family's antics and the ending was quite the shocker for me. I did not see that coming! For that reason I'll be going forth with the next book.
Not as good as the first collection. The story has become convoluted without enough focus being given to the main character. Now there are so many unclear connections that I've lost interest. I liked some of it, the vampires in blimps and centaurs and wings being ripped off, but mostly I finished it because I'm a completist.
If you accept the game here, the second book of Hinterkind has a serious kick to it. There is sensible consolidation in storylines which helps to focus the story, which culminates with every chapter. I got used to the art, but it still feels quite cheap, which leads to quicker flicking between pages - no need to prolong the reading by studying the art on the page. But I must admit I like the story, the twist and the quick pace. It brings the joy of adventure even if it's far from perfect. I woul...
Reading through my first review, most of my complaints that I had in the first volume were addressed in the second volume. We get more plot building in this novel and also follow the different cast journey: Prosper & her adventures, Prosper's grandfather & his adventures, Prosper's friend & his adventures----and the sidhe royalty arc, which I enjoyed reading immensely. As this cast of characters start out on their different paths, which (of course) will eventually lead them all together. I defin...
3.4 stars
So good. Regretting that I didn't wait longer to enjoy this series. I'm already caught up after two volumes. Volume 3 out June 30, 2015. Boo that!
This picked up for me since it seems that Edginton decided to make this a little more complex. I want to see this series to the end, considering there is one last volume, but all the hopes I did have for it, are just simply not there.
I'm loving this so so so much!! I need more!
T'was alright. Not brilliant but not bad enough that I don't want to continue on and read the third volume. Still think a little bit more time could have been spent on the artwork.
Synopsis: "The second volume of the hit series begins with Princess Tersia, who has a vision of the future and the shape of things to come. In this vision she's married to Jon Hobb and carrying his baby. Oh, and there's a dragon! Is it a dream or a nightmare? Meanwhile, bounty hunters Starla and Jubal find the tables are turned as they're run to ground by a Centaur posse.The second chapter in Vertigo's next great series is here in HINTERKIND VOL. 2. Collects HINTERKIND #7-12."My Review: This was...
I really liked this volume. It talks about the history and how this world became to be. There are new creatures to discover and the volume adds more the the story of Prosper and her crew (?). The Art: It is still the same and I still like it. Everything is detailed from the background, background characters, clothing, plants, animals, people, and there is nothing left out. The colors mesh well with the story. The Story/Setting: It goes and talks about how the world came to be. That is all I am g...
LOVE the cover art!Humans, fairies, trolls, vampires, ogres, goblins, imps, sprites, centaurs,; sidhe running things- but not united. The world is in constant small wars. Lots of death. All the races are food for the vampires, who can see a blood drought coming… too many vampires, to little blood-stock.There are many groups running around in this book; it was very hard to follow. I found myself picking up the first book again. By the end, a few groups consolidated… but some characters had also g...
Wow. What a great series. Such an expansive world.
